Justin Peters Ministries
“Justin Peters Ministries is a worldwide expository preaching and teaching ministry. We focus on teaching the sufficiency of God’s word and exposing the false teachings of the prosperity, health, and wealth gospel. Justin preaches a gospel deeply rooted in the sufficiency of scripture.” I highly recommend watching His seminar Clouds without Water.
Fighting for the faith
Fighting for the Faith is a program hosted by pastor Chris Rosebrough at Pirate Christian. They have been “dishing up your daily dose of Biblical discernment since 2008. The goal has always been to help you think biblically, help you think critically, and help you to slow down, stop, and open up your Bible and compare what people are saying in the Name of God to the Word of God.”
What Shall I cry Ministry
“What Shall I Cry Ministries is a discernment ministry devoted to preserving and proclaiming the truth of God’s Word as revealed to us in His Holy Scriptures.”
The Berean Research
“Berean Research is a resource to help Christians equip and keep themselves and their brothers and sisters from falling into deception. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 warns us of a time when people will not put up with sound doctrine but will gravitate to a great number of teachers who’ll say what their itching ears want to hear. We believe this deception has never been greater than it is right now. That’s why sound doctrine is so important.”
When We Understand the Text
“Many of the Bible verses and stories we think we know, we don’t! When We Understand the Text (WWUTT) is an online ministry preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and rebuking those who contradict it (Titus 1:9). We feature hundreds of short videos addressing dozens of Bible topics, and a podcast with 20 minutes of Bible teaching five days a week, enjoyed by millions of people around the world—and it’s all for free!”
Books
Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit with Counterfeit Worship – John MacArthur
“In Strange Fire, MacArthur lays out a chilling case against the modern Charismatic movement that includes:
- Rejecting its false prophets.
- Speaking out against their errors.
- Showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit.
- Clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested.”
God, Greed and the (Prosperity) Gospel: How Truth Overwhelms a Life Built on Lies – Costi Hinn
“This captivating look into the daily lives of one of the world’s leading prosperity dynasties offers a thoughtful perspective on the perils of greed, the power of the true gospel, and hope for the future of the global church. Through real-life stories, Costi challenges and equips readers to be living lights pointing the way to the true gospel and the saving grace of Christ. God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel will bolster your faith and encourage your own journey toward the Truth.”
Truth Wars: Fighting for Certainty in an Age of Deception – John MacArthur
“Right now, truth is under attack, and much is at stake. Perhaps no one in America is more passionate than John MacArthur about exposing those who are mounting this attack? especially those bringing the assault right into the church.
There is no middle ground?no safe zone for the uncommitted in this war. The battle for truth is raging, and this book reveals:
- The pitfalls of postmodern thinking
- Why the Emerging Church Movement is inherently flawed
- Past skirmishes in the Truth War and their effect on the Church
- The importance of truth and certainty in a postmodern society
- How to identify and address the errors and false teachings smuggled into churches.”
Defining Deception: Freeing the Church from the Mystical-Miracle Movement – Costi Hinn & Anthony G. Wood
“The global movement of mystical-miracle enthusiasts have put a modern face on historical heresies. Men and women posing as prophets and apostles make millions preying on the sick, poor, and emotionally fragile. Behind a veil of glamour, many self-proclaimed pastors mask their spiritual abuse with claims of special power from the Holy Spirit. Defining Deception pulls back the curtain to reveal the truth behind this lucrative industry.”
Documentaries
American Gospel: Christ Alone
“Is Christianity Christ + the American dream? American Gospel examines how the prosperity gospel (the Word of Faith movement) has distorted the gospel message, and how this theology is being exported abroad.”
American Gospel: Christ Crucified
“The gospel message of “Christ crucified” has always been offensive. In our culture, it is common for preachers to soften the offense of the cross, and the attributes of God that are displayed in the person of work of Jesus Christ. “American Gospel: Christ Crucified” explores how the paths of post-modernism and progressive Christianity lead to a different gospel, and a god created in our own image.”
